<h1 class="topictitle1">Setting up an iSeries tape drive for use by Linux</h1>
|

|
|
<div><p>This topic describes the tasks you need to perform to set up an iSeries™ tape
|
||
|
|
drive for use by an integrated Linux<sup>®</sup> server.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The iSeries supports
|
||
|
|
a wide range of tape drives. If you have multiple tape drives
|
||
|
|
on your iSeries,
|
||
|
|
each one can be allocated separately to either <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> or Linux. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A
|
||
|
|
number of iSeries tape
|
||
|
|
drives have been tested for use with integrated Linux servers, but some models cannot
|
||
|
|
be used. The latest information about which tape devices have been tested
|
||
|
|
for use by Linux running
|
||
|
|
on the Integrated xSeries<sup>®</sup> Adapter or Integrated xSeries Server can be found at the following
|
||
|
|
Web site: </p>
|
||
|
|
<p><a href="http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/integratedxseries/linux/tape_support.html" target="_blank">http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/integratedxseries/linux/tape_support.html</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside information center" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To allocate
|
||
|
|
a native iSeries tape
|
||
|
|
drive for use by an integrated Linux server, the iSeries tape drive must be logically
|
||
|
|
detached (varied off) from <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span>.
|
||
|
|
Then it must be logically attached (locked) to the integrated Linux server
|
||
|
|
so that Linux thinks
|
||
|
|
it has a physical tape drive directly attached. When this has been done, the
|
||
|
|
integrated Linux server
|
||
|
|
can use the iSeries tape
|
||
|
|
drive as if it were a directly attached tape drive.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Tip:</span> The Linux integration support software supports the use
|
||
|
|
of Automatic Cartridge Loaders (ACLs) in manual and automatic modes. This
|
||
|
|
means that if the ACL is in automatic mode when a Linux backup application ejects a full
|
||
|
|
tape, the media is unloaded and the ACL automatically loads the next tape.
|
||
|
|
However, the first tape must always be loaded manually by the user.</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>To
|
||
|
|
enable an iSeries tape
|
||
|
|
drive for use by Linux backup utilities and applications, complete the
|
||
|
|
following steps:</p>
